Speaker	Time	Text
unidentified		Right, well, the first rally that Vice President Kamala Harris will have with her now running mate, Tim Waltz, is going to happen here in...
		Philadelphia.
		It happens at 5 p.m. tonight.
		It'll be their first joint rally.
		And interestingly, the governor of Minnesota, Walls, will be sharing that stage with Harris, as well as, from our understanding, Pennsylvania's governor, Josh Shapiro, who was also one of the top two finalists for this job.
		So you're going to have a situation here tonight where they'll not only have their first rally together, but a chance for the party as well to at least show that they are unified, given what has happened.
		Has been an interesting 15-16 day speed through here in trying to pick a vice president.
		Walsh is from Minnesota.
		He has an appeal especially to western Wisconsin.
		He's a former high school teacher.
		He was in the National Guard.
		He is somebody who is known for being plain spoken.
		He has experience in Congress serving as six terms in the House of Representatives and two terms in Minnesota.
		An interesting thing here, obviously, is that this was a pick that was being pushed by progressives, including Senator Bernie Sanders, as well as the United Auto Workers Union, who all endorsed Walls as the pick over Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
		Interesting pitfall here, though, could be the fact that he was governor of Minnesota during the George Floyd riots.
		He was really attacked by Republicans, and he even said himself that he could have done a better job during that situation, including calling in the National Guard sooner and calling in more National Guard troops as the cities were lit on fire during those riots.
		That'll be something to look into.
		Thank you.
		you you you How'd you guys like that?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Straight-up cinematic, man.
		This is as good as the MCU, right?
		Kamala Harris could be an evil villain.
		And she is!
		And she just proved it!
		Also proving that the entire Democratic Party is run by straight-up Marxists.
		And the Hamas wing.
		The squad has now taken over.
		Get ready, baby!
		Kamala Harris has selected radical, psychotic, lunatic Governor Tim Waltz of Minnesota.
		The guy who oversaw, encouraged, and created the conditions for his own state to be burned to the ground during the George Floyd violent, deadly, fatal insanity.
		I don't know what they're thinking.
		I think I do, actually.
		I think I do actually know what's going on here.
		But ladies and gentlemen, this selection was made today, August 6th, 2024.
		Kamala Harris has, she doomed her own campaign.
		I don't know, man.
		There's a lot of people saying that this pick shows a lot of cracks.
		In the belly of the ship, and also shows that Kamala Harris is not in it to win it.
		We'll talk about all of it today.
		Was disgraced a former Secret Service director trying to hide a Biden cocaine bender at the White House?
		Hunter Biden ripping lines off the bust of Teddy Roosevelt?
		Oh baby, we're going to cover that too, today.
		Caroline Levitt!
		We'll join the program, the official Donald Trump 2024 spokesperson.
		Congressman Chip Roy, who is going to have a blast running against this Democrat ticket in 2024, along with Governor Rod Boglojevich, who is the governor of the state of Illinois, who is a Democrat, and who knows the Midwest very, very well.
		Alright, Illinois, very much in the same region.
		I come from that region, Iowa, Illinois.
		The dude probably knows the Tim Walsh types, and so we're going to talk to Rod Blagojevich, Blago, as he's known, today live and get you the skinny on what's going on.
		My name is Benny Johnson, and this is The Benny Show.
		Alright, so, as you may have noticed, we don't sleep on this program.
		Can we put up the documentary?
		I want to show you guys something.
		I want to show you guys what we have created together on this show.
		What all of us have created together on this program.
		So the documentary that you helped us make, that you created, right?
		That we created together because you demanded more information about the Trump assassination.
		That thing has gotten 7.2 million views on X alone.
		It is the most viral thing.
		Via timeline.
		It's the most viral in the shortest amount of time we've ever done.
		Pop it up.
		Show the people.
		So here's the post.
		You got to see...
		No, no, no.
		Show me the post.
		I want to see the post.
		I want to see the numbers, boys.
		Show me the numbers, baby!
		It's pinned to the top of my profile.
		So this is the most viral thing.
		And here's the up-to-date numbers.
		27,000 likes.
		7.3 million views.
		26,000 reposts.
		Nearly 3,000 comments.
		You helped us create this moment.
		This is the moment where we swaggerjack and take from the corporate press what they should have done, steal from Hollywood what they should have done, and we take it unto ourselves.
		We become Hollywood.
		We become the media.
		And this is an incredible moment.
		And you, ladies and gentlemen, helped support this.
		And I thank you so very much for that.
	It is our great honor.
	To be your tool and your weapon for truth.
	It does take, however, an enormous amount of work.
	And I'm certainly not here to complain.
	Alright?
	I'm not here to complain.
	We are blessed to do this job.
	However, I did lose a lot of sleep over this.
	Not because I was worried, but because I just sat here non-stop.
	Check with my wife and my kids.
	I just sat in the studio non-stop for literally seven straight days.
	Uh, wrestling this thing into existence.
	Creation, uh, is in fact a, uh, is in fact a question of sheer willpower and force.
	The only reason I'm talking about, the only reason I'm bringing this up is because I've lost sleep.
	Ladies and gentlemen, my friends at Beam, Dream Sleep, can help me get to bed very, very quickly.
	What would happen is I would come home from the studio, I would be exhausted, uh, it'd be two, three in the morning, and I would make a hot cup of cocoa with my...
	Beam dream sleep powder, and I would go night-night.
	I mean, legitimately, I couldn't keep my eyes open.
	Helped me get to sleep and stay asleep quickly and speedily.
	It's amazing.
	Just a little, like, hot water, a little bit of milk, and my beam dream powder, and a nice little hot cup of cocoa.
	Sit there in my kitchen, like, rub my eyes, and then I'd be asleep.
	Literally, just asleep.
	I'd barely make it upstairs to my bedroom.
	Find out the easiest way to get to sleep.
	And the most natural way to get to sleep, visit shopbeam.com slash Benny, scan the QR code on your screen, and use the code Benny to get up to 35%.
	Check out shopbeam.com slash Benny, promo code Benny.
	Okay, kind of a...
	I love being able to blend in something I want to talk about, and also talk about the sponsors that help us do it, and of course you.
	That's wild, man.
	That's wild.
	ALX is like...
	You know, we want to support Elon, so we want to promote certain products and stuff.
	ALX tells me, the promotion hasn't even run yet.
	All of these numbers, all of these numbers for the documentary are completely organic.
	Numbers for the documentary.
	So this thing's on its way to 10 million views.
	On one platform alone.
	This thing's going to be seen by tens of millions of people.
	So thank you.
	I guess this is a sign that we should do more of this.
	More investigations.
	Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to investigate somebody named Tim Waltz today on the program.
	Tim Waltz is the selection for Kamala, or as we will say, Camilla on this program.
	I like Camilla.
	Donald Trump, I don't know if we have this in the script, can we grab this?
	Donald Trump named her Kamala yesterday.
	So Trump decided Kamala.
	Shall we follow President Trump's lead?
	Is it Kamala?
	We have a Trump spokesperson coming on the show here in just a second.
	Coming on the stream here in just a second.
	So maybe we'll ask about Kambala.
	We'll see.
	Okay, we'll see.
	Caroline Levitt, what do you think about Kambala?
	Am I saying that right?
	Kambala.
	Kamabla.
	Yeah, this was the VP pick.
	This was her VP pick today.
	Okay, so it was down to two dudes.
	This was the VP selection.
	I think this is just really funny.
	How broken is the Democrat Party?
	Kamala had Kamala.
	Okay, we're going to work on it.
	We're going to workshop it today.
	Hey, pin this.
	Hey, you decide.
	You decide.
	I'm live.
	You decide.
	We're live.
	We're streaming.
	You decide.
	Pin it to the top of the chat.
	Let the chat decide.
	What do you want us to call Kamala on this program?
	Do you want her to be Kami Kamala?
	Kamala?
	Kamala?
unidentified		Or...
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Gotta pick another one.
		Actually, those are the three that I want.
		Kami, Kamala, Kamala, or Kamila.
		Which ones do you guys want?
		You choose, and I will say it.
		Okay?
		You choose, and I will say it.
		From now on, on the show.
		Looking at the chat right now.
		There's a lot of people.
		Kamala.
		Chameleon Kamala.
		Or Coconut Kamala.
		Uh-oh.
		Alright, add Coconut Kamala on there, just for fun.
		Alright, Coconut Kamala is the last one.
		ALX, let me know when the poll's up, and everyone vote.
		Just go vote, and I will tell you, I speak the truth, I will not call her Kamala ever again.
		I'll let you decide, and then we'll, that will be, this show's yours, this show belongs to you, we do it all for you, so we'll just call her what, we'll call her what you want us to call her.
unidentified		Kambala.
unidentified		It's pretty good.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Tucker says Carmella.
		Oh, man.
		There's not a lot of options.
		ALX tells me Tucker says Carmella Harris.
		Okay.
unidentified		All right.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Well, we're going to work on this.
		Okay?
		We're going to workshop all this.
		You'll decide.
		All right?
		Vote in the poll.
		You'll decide.
		We'll give you all the results of the poll.
		They'll be public.
		And we'll go from there.
		So here's what Kambala had as her menu of vice presidential picks.
		It started off with a slate of six or seven dudes.
		There's always going to be a dude.
		There's always going to be a white dude.
		It's like going to your local delicatessent for a late lunch.
		And you're like, do you have any crisp whites?
		Do you have any young whites?
		Do you have any old whites?
		And you're looking at the wine list.
		This was what Kamala's list had on it.
		She was just shopping whites for this list.
		Now, who was she going to go with?
		There were a bunch of governors that she had selections with.
		About half the states have Democrat governors.
		I think less than half, but around there.
		So she was going sort of like that governor option, which, you know, she came from the Senate, you choose a governor, you kind of match them up, right?
		So you have both houses, both houses, right?
		You have the executive branch, and then you have the legislative branch, right?
		And that typically makes a good ticket.
unidentified		Hmm.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Everyone dropped out.
		This is what I find particularly interesting.
		Everybody dropped out.
		Alright?
		Now, I'm waiting for, like, deep sourcing on how this all happened, but all these governors, like these semi-moderate governors, I don't know how the hell Kentucky has a Democrat governor, but they do.
		Beshear is his name.
		Roy Cooper from North Carolina.
		These are, like, the Democrat governors.
		These Democrat governors are like, I'm out!
		They meet Kamala one time, and she's like...
		They're like, I'm out.
		I'm out.
		I'm out.
unidentified		Out.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		And so Kamala was left, and by the way, we have, hang on my earpiece here.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We do have our Kamala poster.
unidentified		There I go.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So Kamala was left looking very much like this, all right?
		She was left screaming and angry because all of the VP candidates that she wanted were out.
		They were like, I'm out!
		And she was left with two.
		There's this craven, very craven, like very creepy guy who has this horrible past history of covering up sexual harassment, covering up straight up homicides in Pennsylvania.
		His name is Josh Shapiro.
		Josh Shapiro also, this is a very, very interesting little bit of his past.
		Josh Shapiro worked at an Israeli army base.
		Did you know this?
		That's pretty interesting.
		Why is Josh Shapiro working at an Israeli army base?
		He also worked for the Israeli embassy and wrote a bunch of op-eds.
		He worked PR for the Israeli embassy and wrote a bunch of op-eds about how there'll never be peace in the Middle East.
		And the Israeli government should pretty much just bulldoze all Palestine.
		All the Palestinian people.
		You can check.
		It's all available.
		Go look for yourself.
		They were furiously trying to scrub his Wikipedia to get rid of all this stuff.
		It's hysterical.
		And in fact, The guy was forced, this, like, midget, dirty little midget lunatic, Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania, you know, the guy who was the Secretary of State and promised that Donald Trump wouldn't win Pennsylvania, wink, wink, nod, nod, vote dumps in the middle of the night.
		That guy, the guy who has photos with George Soros and his creepy little kid, to secure access to the ballots?
		Yeah, we know what that means.
		So, little midget Shapiro.
		Crawls out this weekend and does this deeply, like, extremely humiliating, like, apology for his own religion.
		You know, I'm not, I don't consider myself, like, I'm not, like, some orthodox guy.
		I'm a simple Christian, is what we always say on this program.
		And we're not ashamed of that.
		We say Christ is king on this show.
		We're not ashamed of that.
		You'll never be able to, like, you'll never be able to offer me anything!
		Nothing!
		Take it all away!
		Take it all away!
		Okay, except for my family.
		I'll die for my family.
		But let me tell you something.
		I'll never ever go on camera and apologize for Christ.
		I'll never go on camera and, like, please forgive me for my Christianity.
		Rip my shirt.
		Like, I'll never do...
		What a humiliation!
		Like, dude, like, you either believe it or not.
		Own it, you coward!
		You cretin?
		This guy, they trotted him out.
		I don't know if we have any clips.
		Do we have clips of this?
		Give me some of the Wikipedia scrubbing and stuff.
		We have a ton on Tim Walz, but I just want to show you how humiliating this all was.
		Of course it's all because Kamala, Kamala, Hamasala, I don't know.
		I don't think that worked.
		Don't add that to the list.
		But let's see Hamasala for the sake of having a laugh at this situation they've got themselves into.
		You remember when, like, the new iteration of BLM was the Hamas holes?
		And they went and they burned.
		They were burning campuses down.
		They were taking over campuses.
		They were torching the American flag.
		They continued to torch the American flag.
		We got, like, those iconic photographs of those dudes who held up the flag in North Carolina.
		Like, that's the power of the Democrat Party.
		The power of the Democrat Party inside of, like, the prism of wokeness.
		Is the victims are always going to be the hierarchy.
	And in the mindset of the Democrats, the Palestinian people or Muslims who live inside of Israel are the victims.
	And so being on the side of Israel is being on the side of the oppressor.
	I'm not saying that that's correct.
	I'm just saying that's how their entire worldview is at.
	Creates a deeply anti-Semitic...
	Just pop it up.
	Just roll.
	We're just rolling.
	Creates a deeply anti-Semitic worldviews.
	And Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, and who's the practitioner of that faith, and who did what a lot of people do, which is to go work at a kibbutz in Israel.
	He worked at a kibbutz, and then he worked on an Israeli army base.
	Then he worked for the Israeli embassy.
	Now that's...
	Okay.
	Now that...
	I mean...
	There you go.
	He worked for the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. as a PR flack.
	Did you know this?
	So he did public relations.
	I'm not saying that's wrong.
	I'm saying that that is like cursed anathema to the modern Democrat Party, which is the largest vehicle for anti-Semitism in the Western world, is the modern Democratic Party.
	They hate Israel because of the paradigm that they have adopted, that they have brought unto themselves.
	It wasn't always that way, but it is that way today.
	They hate Israel with a burning passion.
	And if you are pro-Israel, then you're part of the oppressors.
	You're part of the oppressor dynamic.
	And you're not allowed to be that.
	This all plays into the Walsh pick, okay?
	Because Walsh did the exact same thing just with BLM.
	It's the same thing.
	What Kamala is doing, kneeling to Ma...
	So this is like Kamala putting on her kente cloth or whatever the similar thing would be.
	This is them scrubbing Josh Shapiro's Wikipedia.
	They just scrubbed Josh Shapiro volunteering for the IDF from his Wikipedia page.
	So this is what they forced the guy to do.
	It's called a struggle session in communist China, in the Marxist histories.
	You...
	The struggle session is you did something against the party, and you must stand in front of all the people, and you must hang your head and be humiliated in front of all of them.
	Grab me a photo of a struggle session, a classic Maoist struggle session.
	It's particularly evil, what they've done.
	I'm not defending Josh Shapiro, okay?
	Nor am I on his side, alright?
	I want Josh Shapiro to lose his elections, and I want him to lose in Pennsylvania, and I think Josh Shapiro is an evil person based on what he did to Donald Trump in 2020.
	He guaranteed that Trump won't win Pennsylvania once all the ballots were counted.
	Got it?
	Yeah, what a weird thing to say.
	What a creepy thing to say.
	Josh Shapiro's an evil little man.
	But I'm telling you that the worst thing I've ever seen this person do, and he's covered up homicides, he's covered up sexual harassment stuff, he had a super messed up past.
	The worst thing Josh Shapiro did was walk out, there it is, walk out and do an equivalency of this, having to apologize This week, like, effectively apologize for his religion.
	And apologize for, like, what he believes.
	How monstrous of a person must you be to put the government over God?
	To put the government and governmental power over God's power?
	Divine right of kings, but reversed.
	Where it's like, the king doesn't rule at the favor of God, the government is God.
	Now that's just straight Marxist tautology there.
	And this is what Josh Shapiro embodies.
	And Josh Shapiro did this, this humiliating ritual to apologize for his beliefs and what he believes.
	How, I mean, this is Maoist struggle sessions, right?
	And he still didn't get it!
	He still didn't get it!
	The guy who did the same thing but with BLM, he's the guy who got it.
	Tim Waltz is the governor of Minnesota.
	Tim Waltz allowed for...
	You say BLM, but what they really are are criminal gangs, rabid criminal gangs.
	It really doesn't matter the color of their skin.
	What matters is their actions.
	Ravenous criminal gangs.
	Here's some of the destruction.
	Play it next to me.
	Tim Waltz not only encouraged this to happen to his people, not only encouraged this to happen, look at this.
	This is what Tim Waltz can do for you in your community.
	Tim Waltz could do this for you.
	Look, here you go.
	This is what the man...
	Look.
	Grab me that target, will you?
	Let me see that target.
	Is that up?
	We got that loaded up?
	A burndown target?
	I want to have a little message for white women for Kamala.
	So, Tim Waltz could do this for you, ladies and gentlemen.
	I mean, I think this is the easiest, like, thread in here, is that this guy bent, much like the modern Democratic Party, Of today, bent the knee as Hamas holes were doing this across America.
	You didn't see a ton of coverage of it.
	You saw coverage of it on our show.
	You didn't see a ton of coverage on it because it was so horrifying.
	Hamas holes just straight up were like roaming the streets attacking Jews.
	In LA, there were like mobs of Hamas holes just roaming the streets attacking Jews.
	You remember when the same thing happened with BLM?
	This is four years ago.
	Hey, white women for Kamala.
	This is what your target looks like under Tim Walsh.
	This is what your little Starbucks inside your target.
	This is what it's going to look like.
	Try getting a bubble tea in this condition.
	Oh, look.
	They've looted all the pharmaceuticals.
	Look at that.
	Yeah.
	Try getting your Xanax prescription.
	Picking up your yoga pants.
	And getting yourself a soy latte, vanilla latte, under these conditions.
	This is what Tim Waltz did to your target, white women for Kamala!
	And coming to a city near you.
	Amazing.
	Ladies and gentlemen, amazing.
	The guy is a psychotic radical.
	We're just going to go through...
	Let's go through a...
	Let's go through a real quick roll of who Tim Waltz is.
	Starting with Tim Walz's response to criminal gangs, killing people, looting and ravaging his peaceful, once profitable and peaceful and beautiful home state of Minnesota.
tim walz ▲ ● ▼		A society that does not...
		Put equity and inclusion at the center of it is certainly going to eventually come to the places where we're at.
		This is a moment of inflection.
		It's a moment of real change.
		It's a moment that those folks who are out there demanding this are not going to take a commission or a report.
		They're going to want fundamental change.
		And that is what I think that's one of the exciting things in the midst of all this.
		You can feel a sense of optimism coming back.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		How about you just, let's just go to the dozens of black Americans who were killed.
		Let's just go to the dozens of black Americans who were killed in the BLM riots.
		Is it optimistic for you, Tim?
		Are you optimistic about that?
		Was it optimistic for you?
		Here's what local news in Minnesota had to say about Governor Waltz after The atrocities that he created.
unidentified		And I want to also add, I've been texting with our news director while we've been on the air saying, I know you have a request into the governor.
		Anything, anything, anything.
		And they are refusing to make any kind of statement right now.
		Listen, we know they're busy, but I can't think of anything more important right now than explaining to us why we are allowing this to happen again.
		And once again, we are asking the governor, we're asking Mayor Frey, what is the plan here?
tim walz ▲ ● ▼		You said there was a plan yesterday.
unidentified		You said there was a plan for today.
		And in both instances, we haven't seen...
		And tonight, it seems...
		It seems even more inexcusable.
		You can understand how last night maybe got away from them.
		They didn't know what was going to happen.
tim walz ▲ ● ▼		Well, they gave up the third precinct last night.
unidentified		And to tonight not be able to respond to this, it doesn't make sense.
		I wish someone would explain to us the thinking behind this.
		Surely they're having these conversations about what we are going to do if and when.
		What was the conversation around this?
		If this started happening again in the third precinct or in a different precinct?
		Was this the plan?
		This was the plan?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Was this the plan?
		Yes, it's the plan, idiot!
		Do you not understand what Marxist takeovers are?
		For Marxist takeovers to happen, you have to disrupt the entire society.
		And Tim Waltz, although he's like a very doughy, Pillsbury-looking dork force from the aw shuck state of Minnesota, his goal is, he's a bloodthirsty.
		Marxist.
		And he says so.
		First off, you have to understand, the whole goal, Maoist goal, the whole goal of a societal takeover, the socialist takeover of any society, is you have to destroy the systems that currently exist.
		You have to disconnect people from those systems.
		Here's Tim Walz saying, I'm a socialist.
		Call me a commie.
		Go.
tim walz ▲ ● ▼		But we can get out there.
		Reach out.
		Make the case.
		And for one thing...
		Don't ever shy away from our progressive values.
		One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly what Tim Waltz has done.
		He has opened up his state and even changed his state's flag to look far more like the flag of Somalia.
		You'll note that in this, you can put it up, and in this...
		There you go.
		Yeah, look at this.
		He actually took the old flag of Minnesota.
		There are entire...
		This is the Ilhan Omar district in Minneapolis.
		There we go.
		And they changed their state flag to better...
		And it looks shockingly like the nation flag of Somalia.
		This is how much Tim Waltz wishes to...
		Legitimately destroy all that came before him and to remake it in the form of what?
		Becoming a sanctuary city.
		This is the goal.
		Go.
unidentified		Should Minnesota be a sanctuary state?
tim walz ▲ ● ▼		If the definition of that is that the federal government enforces immigration law and local law enforcement enforces local law, then yes.
unidentified		Should cities be allowed to be sanctuary cities?
unidentified		Yes.
tim walz ▲ ● ▼		Local control.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		Oh, wow.
		OK, so the federal government shouldn't have any capacity to deport illegals.
		In fact, Tim Waltz says I should build ladders.
		I want to buy a ladder factory to get more illegals in.
		More criminal aliens, more people to burn down your cities and streets because they have no connection to that land and no connection to that place.
		And so why not burn it to the ground?
unidentified		Listen, he says it.
tim walz ▲ ● ▼		And I think seeing a plan that's out there, talking about it with folks, knowing that he's not going to do anything.
		He talks about this wall.
		I always say, let me know how high it is.
		If it's 25 feet, then I'll invest in the 30-foot ladder.
		Bro.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Bro.
		There are so many evils of Tim Walsh.
		The dude has no end to some of the horrors that he supports.
		We put up a little list on X, but I'm just going to go through it really quickly.
		He encouraged the BLM rioting.
		Let's pop this up on screen, too.
		He encouraged the BLM rioting.
		Beautiful Minneapolis.
		He wants to turn every state into a sanctuary state for criminal illegal aliens.
		He said he wants to give free illegals free ladders to climb over the border wall for Donald Trump.
		Give illegals driver's licenses and support free college for health care for illegals, all at your expense.
		Encourages irreversible trans surgeries for minors.
		Made Minnesota.
		A sanctuary state, alphabet sanctuary state, put tampons in boys' bathrooms, legalized infanticide, that's a matter of fact, they have the most radical abortion policy of any state in America, headed a task force that led to $250 million in COVID embezzlement fraud, demanded America put DEI first, declared himself a socialist last week.
		Kami Kamala, ladies and gentlemen, Trump Vance, 2024.
unidentified		What?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		A wonderful day for people who actually care about this country, because I think this is a horrible mistake, this pick.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Somebody who I think is in agreement with me is Donald Trump campaign spokesperson, Caroline Levitt, who joins the program live now.
unidentified		you Thank you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Caroline, thank you so very much for the, well, exciting...
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Moment to join our show today and I think explain what the hell is going on with Kami Kamala.
unidentified		Well, we welcome Tim Walsh to the presidential race.
		Let me tell you, as President Trump put out on his Truth Social a few minutes ago, thank you.
		Because Tim Walsh is a gift to Kamala Harris's ticket because they have now become the most far-left ticket.
		In American history.
		And the oppo book on Tim Waltz is deep.
		This guy is one of the most far-left governors in the country.
		He is open borders.
		He's soft on crime.
		He's pro-defund the police.
		He is pro-gender transition surgeries for minors.
		And we have all of the ammunition in the world and a lot of cash in the bank, by the way, to spend the next 91 days proving just how dangerously liberal both Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz are.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Do you think white women for Kamala want their Starbucks inside of their targets burned to the ground and looted?
unidentified		I don't think they want that at all, but that's what they're going to get if they elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walsh.
		If you want to know what America will look like, look at Minneapolis.
		In the summer of 2020, the entire city was on fire, and Tim Walsh allowed it to happen.
		After that, he actually doubled down on his defund the police movement support and said that cops are racist.
		Now, we need law enforcement in this country.
		We need law and order.
		And if white women for Harris want to enjoy their lattes and enjoy their peaceful target trips, then they best vote for President Trump because he's the only candidate in this race who's going to bring law and order back to this country.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think there's a pretty wild oppo book on Tim Walton.
		It's almost like it's too...
		You wonder which direction you should go when it comes to, like, what a sociopath this guy is.
		What direction is the Trump campaign going to go at?
		Like, and specifically JD Vance, right?
		Because he's the one who's going to debate the guy, presumably.
unidentified		Yes, and we look forward to that opportunity.
		Absolutely.
		Look, Tim Walsh, a few things that your audience and Americans deserve to know.
		First of all, he is soft on crime, just like Kamala Harris.
		He signed a sanctuary city law in Minnesota.
		He signed a law in Minnesota giving licenses to illegal immigrants.
		That is unacceptable.
		That's putting Americans last.
		And Kamala Harris, as the borders are, we know there's been more than 11 million illegal people that have come into this country from all over the world.
		and Tim Walsh wants them to be able to freely enter and be able to drive and therefore be able to vote in many states as well.
		Tim Walz is also anti-American energy, just like Kamala Harris.
		He has signed one of the most radical environmental laws in the country, a ban on carbon-based fuels in Minnesota by 2030.
		That will be disastrous for the consumers in Minnesota and across this country.
		That is a gift to the Chinese Communist Party.
		It will do nothing to help the environment.
		It will do everything to threaten our national security and bring up the cost of living in Minnesota and elsewhere.
		And we know that goes hand-in-hand with Kamala Harris's anti-American energy policies.
		She wants to ban fracking.
		She said that on the record.
		I know her campaign is trying to run from that position now.
		But her words speak for themselves.
		The cost of living in this country will continue to skyrocket if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are elected.
		If Americans want to make gasoline cheap again and get more money back into their pocketbooks, there's only one option.
		Again, that option is presidential.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That is very much a gift to you!
unidentified		He's a self-proclaimed socialist, and Kamala Harris is the most radical liberal senator from the United States Senate.
		She's said she's proud of being radical.
		So there you go.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Just really quickly here, because I know we're short on time, but yesterday we had Aiden Ross do this amazing stream, this internet-breaking stream seen by tens of millions after the fact.
		Millions as he was live with President Trump.
		Cybertruck dancing.
		So freaking awesome.
		I know you had a hand in that.
		And I know that J.D. Vance is 39 years old, right?
		And is definitely the youngest person now across any of these tickets.
		Kamala is 60, right?
		So this idea that Kamala is this young candidate isn't true.
		And Tim Waltz also in his 60s.
		And so J.D. Vance, the Trump campaign, very young, feeling very young, acting very young, and getting quite a bit of Gen Z support.
		You can see it.
		You can see the energy.
unidentified		Absolutely.
		Well, the energy comes from the top and it comes from President Trump, who has more energy than anyone I have ever met in my life.
		And he brings that energy to our team in the campaign trail every single day.
		We are having an active outreach to Gen Z voters and millennial voters across the country right now because we know that they are dissatisfied with the Harris-Biden policies that have made life in this country more expensive.
		It has crushed the American dream for young people.
		I mean, who can afford it?
		And so, President Trump is running to restore that American dream for young Americans.
		The Aiden Ross livestream was just one example of how he's actively working to reach out to these young voters.
		And it's epic.
		I mean, look at that.
		How can you know?
		Caroline, this is such a...
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Like, I know, again, you have a major hand in these things happening.
		It's the destruction of dinosaur media.
		Trump doesn't need dinosaur media.
		These clips went more viral than any interview, not going to name, choose anybody, right, inside of a corporate box.
		These clips, you've never seen a Trump interview go viral like this.
		Do more of this, right?
		Like, this is so, this is so odd, this really grabs the energy and really shows the differences.
		I don't think Tim Waltz with his ladder factory for illegals has this energy.
unidentified		No, he doesn't.
		And the alternative media is certainly a part of our strategy, right?
		Because we understand that there is a massive audience in these alternative platforms outside of the mainstream media, and President Trump is willing to do it.
		Whenever he's asked by some of these folks if he can join their podcast, he always says yes.
		He's willing to do it and to reach different audiences, unlike Kamala Harris, who's now been the appointed nominee of the dumb party for more than two years.
		and has not sat down for a single interview, not even with her friends in the very liberal mainstream legacy media.
		She can't handle it because she wants to run from her record.
		She's trying to run the same basement strategy that Biden ran in 2020.
		It's not going to work, but President Trump will continue to do all sorts of interviews up here at all sorts of venues.
		He's unafraid, and that's why he's worried.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The Benny Show.
		We can go stream.
		We could also do a pretty amazing stream, right?
		We're going to be...
unidentified		On the list, Benny.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right, fantastic.
		Really quickly, you did say Kamala.
		Is it Kambala?
		We did see this yesterday.
		Is it now Kambala?
		What's the official campaign name?
unidentified		Well, it's whatever DJT says it is, so we'll see what he puts out on True Social today.
		Every day is different with this man.
		Okay.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right, so a final word to...
		Final word on the pick, the Waltz pick, because there are many online that are saying that Josh Shapiro, who was forced to apologize for his religion, who was forced to try and scrub his Wikipedia because he worked at an Israeli army base and with the IDF and worked as a PR flack for the Israeli embassy.
		There's a lot of people saying Kamala is completely owned now by the Hamas wing of the party, the squad, and that she, this was an anti-Semitic pick, right?
		Josh Shapiro.
		She didn't like his religion.
		It was too much of a liability for Democrats.
		And that they've just gone full anti-Semitic.
		There's a lot of that online.
		Saying that Josh Shapiro was just like, that was the deciding factor.
		What do you think about that?
unidentified		Yeah, Kamala Harris choosing a running mate was the first major decision for her as the Democrat Party's nominee.
		And not only with this decision did she prove how dangerously liberal she is by picking a far-left governor in Tim Walz, she also proved that the Democrat Party has unfortunately become the party of anti-Semitism.
		They have become the party that caters to the demands of far-left pro-Hamas terrorist sympathizers.
		In this country.
		And it's unacceptable.
		And to all Jewish Americans out there, you are welcome in the Republican Party.
		You are welcome to freely express your religion, to freely support Israel.
		We will always support Israel.
		President Trump will always stand with Israel.
		And we're unafraid to say that, unlike Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party.
		And what a sad, sad state it is that we have a major political party in this country that is so blatantly anti-Semitic.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the dude had to go apologize for his own religion.
		I mean, what a communist struggle session.
		Like, what a wicked thing to make a person do.
		What does that tell you about these people, right?
		That they care far more about power than their own beliefs, you know, and their own mortal soul.
		It's pretty dark, actually.
		Yeah.
		Not Dark is the Aiden Ross interview with Trump.
		Just genius.
		Absolute genius.
		We said it.
		This broke the dinosaur media forever.
		And the Trump campaign is running the most exciting and energetic Gen Z campaign, I think, ever.
		And Caroline Leavitt is one of the people responsible for it.
		So, Godspeed.
		Everyone go follow her, right?
		Make sure that she has as much power and capacity to reach as many people, 200,000 Americans.
		Can't be wrong.
		Get in there and follow Caroline Leavitt.
		Godspeed.
unidentified		Thanks, Betty.
		We appreciate you.
		Boom, baby.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Fantastic.
		All right.
		You know what?
		It's so incredibly true.
		Caroline put out, I don't like reading people's tweets to themselves, but here's the official campaign take from Caroline.
		It's no surprise that San Francisco liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Waltz as her running mate.
		Waltz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota into the image of the Golden State, or the used-to-be Golden State.
		Waltz pretends to support Americans in the heartland.
		When the cameras are off, he believes that rural America is mostly cows and rocks.
		From proposing his own carbon-free agenda to suggesting stricter emissions control to gas-powered cars, allowing convicted felons to vote, Waltz is obsessed with spreading California's dangerously liberal agenda nationwide.
		Waltz won't tell the voters truth.
		We will.
		Just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist.
		The Harris Waltz, which Charlie Kirk says sounds like a cheap, sleazy law firm.
		Harris Waltz!
		It does, though, doesn't it?
		California dream is every American's nightmare.
		There's one final little divot point that I want to get to here with who Tim Walz is.
		While we say that he embodies very much Marxist tautology...
		In his style of governing, which is allow my Gestapo, right?
		Like my thugs, my KGB, to go and terrorize the innocent.
		This is what always happens.
		This is what's happening in Venezuela right now with Maduro.
		Allow for my agents, which were the riots, which were the criminal riots of 2020, to go burn and attack innocent people with impunity, okay?
		Do nothing.
		Tim Walz leaked.
		He held up the National Guard from coming into Minneapolis.
		So Trump ordered the National Guard in.
		He held them up and then leaked their plans.
		Did you know this?
		Bro, we're going to ask Chip Roy about this.
		Did you know this?
		He leaked their plans.
		Okay, so for our next segment, or maybe like with Chip Roy, we'll talk about this.
		Bro leaked the National Guard plans so that the rioters would know how long they had to riot to murder and kill and burn.
		In Minnesota.
		That's what the guy did.
		Get me this.
		I want this on the record.
		I know this.
		I was having a conversation with somebody this morning who works and lives in Minnesota and runs a massive business.
		And this was a huge scandal.
		He leaked the National Guard plans to protect the capital of Minnesota so that the rioters could riot.
		And then he held them up.
		He pushed as much paperwork their way to say the National Guard can't come in.
		Let my KGB maraud and kill.
		So that's step one.
		Step two is then strip everybody of their rights.
		And this is what Tim Walz did.
		The snitch line.
		The KGB.
		Okay?
		This is what he did.
		He created his own KGB snitch line for people to snitch on their neighbors if they happen to, like...
		You ever been to Minnesota?
		You ever been to, like, any of the Midwest states?
		It gets really, really hot and it gets really, really cold.
		This dude put up a snitch line.
		If you dared go outside your house during COVID, listen.
unidentified		Hello, you have reached the Department of Public Safety stay-at-home hotline.
		The information you leave is considered public information.
		At the tone, please leave the following information.
		Your name, your callback number, how the stay-at-home order is being violated, and where the stay-at-home order was violated.
		Thank you.
		Record your message at the tone.
		When you are finished, hang up or press pound for more.
		Hmm.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Interesting.
		Okay.
		Mr. KGB.
		Isn't that right?
unidentified		Yeah.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is an evil man and a villainous individual joining the program now.
		Is the great congressman, who I believe served, I believe served with Tim Waltz.
		We'll check.
		From the state of Texas, pretty much the polar opposite, the literal opposite on a map, north and south, and the literal opposite from a political standpoint, Chip Roy joins the program now.
		Congressman, did you serve with Tim Waltz?
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		I think we might have overlapped my first term.
		I can't remember when he left.
		Didn't work with him in any significant way.
		But, you know, look, this is a day that I think speaks volumes about the state of the Democratic Party passing over Governor Shapiro.
		And what was very clearly, I have a professor from the University of Virginia, Larry Sabato, right?
		You know who Larry Sabato is.
		And Sabato put out and said, the Democrat playbook is to do no harm, quote unquote.
		So I posited today, well, what's that harm that you were referring to?
		And I pointed out that we know what the harm is, right?
		Which was to not pick a Jewish governor instead of a basically Hamas sympathetic governor.
		And I think that's the obvious harm.
		And Larry won't really admit it.
		Neither will other progressive radical Democrats.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You do serve with the marquee member of the Minnesota delegation to Congress, which is Ilhan Omar.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		She's excited.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		She's thrilled about it.
		And they just remade their state flag to very curiously model the...
		I mean, Ray Charles could see that this is very similar to the Somali flag, and Tim Walz is loving it, right?
		Because you must tear down the old structures, decolonization.
		This is what it means.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		No, that's exactly right.
		I mean, look, this is obviously putting a Minnesotan on the ticket.
		It kind of harkens back to my youth, 1984.
		When Walter Mondale was on the ticket, I remember an old Dennis Miller routine in which he talked about Walter Mondale and he said, you know, this guy makes McGovern look like William the Conqueror.
		You know, when I went to bed, Reagan had 537 electoral votes and Mondale had three.
		I mean, talk about not having a date to the prom.
		He spent $40 million and I almost tied him, right?
		That's a Dennis Miller quote from some stand-up in the 80s.
		But look, here's the deal.
		If we underestimate this ticket, okay, we underestimate it at our peril.
		Waltz is a radical progressive Democrat.
		You rattled off all the lists.
		Carolyn Leavitt rattled off the list.
		Everybody on Twitter is rattling off the list.
		Ivory tweeted the list.
		We'll keep making known the list.
		But he was actually pretty effective in Minnesota.
		Minnesota was trending our direction, remember.
		They had a divided legislature to some degree.
		And Waltz has embraced the sort of, you know, radical elements of the Islamic push in Minnesota, but he's also advanced DEI, but he's rallied people to get it done.
		He's basically been the DeSantis of Minnesota, right?
		He's been being effective, moving it to the left, the hard left.
		So, you know, we underestimate that, and we think Harris-Waltz is just something we can tiptoe through.
		It's a mistake.
		In fact, it's showing that they're cocky.
		They're confident.
		They wouldn't pick somebody with such a radically progressive agenda, pass over 19 electoral votes with a Jewish governor from Pennsylvania if they didn't think they could.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So, thinking of things that are unspeakable, things that you can't imagine doing but did happen...
		We do have the proof here.
		I was told this this morning by somebody who lives and runs a very successful business in Minnesota who wants to leave on a phone call because I wanted to get sort of the, you know, the rundown on Tim Walz.
		And he says, do you know that his daughter was tweeting line positions of the National Guard?
		And we actually have those tweets right here.
		I want to, like, confirm this.
		The Guard cannot be sent.
		The Guard can be sent in within minutes.
		It takes time to deploy because they come from all over the state.
		To be clear, the National Guard will not be present tonight.
		This is Hope Waltz.
		This is his psychotic little daughter tweeting about when and how long the looters have to pillage and destroy their state.
		Bro, what is this?
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, look at her.
		She's retweeting these guys saying, get everyone out, and she's trying to advocate for those.
		I mean, by the way, the photographs and the video from 2020, from the BLM riots in Minnesota, if nothing else, that should serve as the image that represents this governor and this presidential nominee's pick for her vice presidential running mate.
		Literally flames all around.
		With these radical protesters, so-called protesters, sitting right in front of the police station where they've taken it over, destroyed it, and there's flames all around it.
		The city's engulfed in flames.
		I saw a video, I think it was, I don't like to give out misinformation.
		I think I remember seeing a video of Waltz's, I guess the first lady in Minnesota or whatever, talking about smelling the tires burning and how...
		There was some good, you know, it was like beneficial to smell the tires burning because it was so, it was like a symbolic moment or whatever.
		I mean, that's the worldview of these people.
		I mean, just letting their state burn to the ground.
		They want that for America, right?
		Caroline's right when she, you know, pointed out the sort of radical California West Coast type agenda.
		This is not your Midwest conservative who happens to have a D after his name.
		He is a radical progressive Democrat in every sense of the word.
		He was advocating for ladder companies to go over the wall at the border.
		He gave out illegal aliens, he gave IDs to illegal aliens, benefits to illegal aliens.
		He's overtly doing that.
		DEI, all of the stuff we saw here, transgender legislation.
		He is a radical and he represents that wing of the Democrat Party.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So this seems like the...
		The election did get a little easier.
		I mean, I know there's tight elections for some of your old colleagues involved, like Ted Cruz in Texas.
		I know that.
		I see the polls.
		Every year they say Ted Cruz is going to lose his seat, and Ted Cruz blows out the competition.
		But I've seen this tightening, and everyone's seen the tightening in the polls.
		However, this seems like a...
		This seems like a mistake, man.
		I mean, this really does seem like a mistake.
		This is the imagery that I loved this morning.
		You just mentioned it, so we might as well pop it up.
		From Heritage Foundation, sort of the burning of the Minneapolis police station versus the Alpha Chads at the...
		So here's one vision of America, and here's the second vision of America.
		You can choose, right?
		Like, you can choose.
		Like, Chad Bro, White Boy Summer, you know, hold the American flag, up energy, or...
		Torching the American flag.
		They just burned an American flag on the grounds of Congress, right?
		Like with Bibi Netanyahu's speech, right?
		They just tore it.
		Commonwealth supporters just went and burned an American flag out in front of your building.
		We saw the remnants of it.
		We were there the day afterwards.
		It's crazy, man.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		No, it's actually insane.
		I always love it when they show the North Carolina frat boys.
		I'm a proud Texan, but I went to school at the University of Virginia, so I had a lot of road trips down at Chapel Hill, as I like to call it.
		Got into a lot of mischief down there, presumably with some of their forefathers, as it were, back in the 1990s.
		And God bless them for holding up the flag.
		But that is the visual distinction.
		But I want to make clear my point about Minnesota, and the reason I brought up the joke about Mondale making McGovern look like William Conqueror.
		The fact is, we look at this through the lens of conservatives, right?
		Radical, progressive, Democrats, crazy ideology, all this stuff.
		And maybe this is their Mondale moment.
		He got whacked.
		He got three electoral votes.
		Maybe that's how it turns out this fall.
		Our job is to do that.
		Our job is to go convince the American people, win overwhelmingly, have a mandate, take massive seats in the House, gain in the Senate, and then go do what we said we would do and transform this country.
		But I'm telling you, they're confident.
		Now, they probably are confident because of their view about President Trump, and I think that's misguided on their part.
		I think they're showing their hand a bit here.
		But we are making a mistake if we don't take seriously that this ticket, as radical as it is, is a ticket they believe in.
		That they believe they can mobilize their people and win.
		This wasn't Kamala doing this in a vacuum.
		This was the entirety of their operation.
		They unite.
		You saw today, Joe Manchin.
		Joe Manchin was out there congratulating the pick.
		Of Governor Walz.
		Remember Joe Manchin?
		He's the reasonable Democrat.
		He's the moderate Democrat.
		By the way, he's the reasonable moderate Democrat who gave us the Inflation Reduction Act when he could have stood in the way of it.
		But he didn't.
		But he is standing alongside Walz.
		All of their, you know, moderate members of whoever they are, they're all rallying around.
		My point is just this.
		We need to take it very seriously and highlight for the American people the situation about criminals being out on the streets, what it means for inflation and spending, embracing socialism, ladders in the border, open borders, IDs for illegals, and don't just dismiss this as crazy.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So, Visioncast for us, because I believe that they've made a horrible mistake here in their selection.
		I think they've picked the worst of two bad...
		And all the normal white-bred Democrat governors from Kentucky and North Carolina, they all dropped out.
		They all voluntarily were like, I don't think so, actually.
		One meeting with Coconut Kamala, and you're like, no, no, I don't think so.
		But vision casting is what's going to win here.
		And so the Republican House, you go viral on our page every couple of weeks, Congressman, by giving an impassioned, angry speech on the floor of the House.
		And rightfully so.
		We're always on your side on that.
		But what people want is like, what do I get if I vote for Republicans?
unidentified		Yeah.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		Well, this is what Republicans need to put out there, what the president needs to put out there.
		I mean, you know, for my position...
		I can't promise you anything when I'm one 435th of one half of one third of that disaster that is Washington, D.C. What I can promise you is to continue to fight and try to mobilize and build coalitions.
		Proud part of the Freedom Caucus.
		Proud work of President Trump.
		We've got to build a coalition to go execute on what we said we would do.
		That means restoring order, reclaiming sovereignty, and securing the border of the United States.
		If you want a country that is sovereign, if you want to make sure that the radical terrorists that are on the terror watch list that was just released yesterday...
		All of the data showing people getting flown in here who are criminals and terrorists, then vote Republican.
		We will secure the border.
		And if we don't, we should be thrown out on our ear.
		We will reduce all of the rampant spending that is driving up inflation.
		If we don't, we should be thrown out on our ear.
		We should make sure we end endless wars.
		We should have a strong military.
		We will work to have a strong military that is sparingly used, not in endless conflict, not blank checks to Ukraine, blank checks to the rest of the world, but thoughtful engagement that is a peace through strength worldview to minimize conflict and stop all these endless wars.
		These are the things we need to do.
		Root out all the radical stuff.
		Fire the bureaucrats.
		Right now, we have lots of people in D.C. We're working to figure out what we can do when the law right now prohibits us from firing bureaucrats.
		We're going to figure out how to move them around, figure out what we need to do to pass legislation in Congress to root out the bureaucrats so we can end the woke and weaponized government that's going after the American people.
		These are all the things that I hear about on the road when I'm in the district.
		Just last night, I met with about 100 constituents about 30 miles west of here in Blanco, Texas and Blanco County, Texas.
		And that's what they care about.
		Stop the government going after me.
		Let me live my life.
		Secure the border.
		A man is a man.
		A woman is a woman.
		Stop this woke, transgender, DEI nonsense.
		Stop endless wars, but yeah, I want a strong military that can destroy things.
		That's what Republicans need to deliver on to things that people care about.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Just as an aside, and I know this is going to really piss off the comment section because you can't touch on an issue like this without people getting...
		Enraged.
		But is this the best barbecue in Texas, in Blanco, Texas?
		Does your district have the best barbecue in Texas?
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		So I'm smart enough, a politician, not to pick which barbecue place is the best barbecue place, but I will tell you that Texas 21 and the surrounding areas, if I'm going to be fair, has the best barbecue in the country.
		Here, I've got to include Lockhart, which is not in my district.
		It's over on the east side.
		But we have an extraordinary barbecue here in the state of Texas.
		It really is truly the best.
		You've got Black's Barbecue in Austin.
		You've got Cooper's, which is just north of my district, up in Atlanta.
		Salt Lake, five miles down the road from my house.
		You've got great spots all throughout my district, probably about 30 or 40 places.
		Lockhart, which is about 30 miles out of the district, has great barbecue over there.
		So we are the barbecue center of the universe with all due respect to Kansas City and my pork-loving friends in the South.
		And by the way, my friends in the South are pork-loving in both the political sense and the barbecue sense, because a lot of Southerners love their earmarks.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Oh, it's a spicy one here, Congressman.
		I didn't know you live five minutes from the Salt Lick.
		Salt Lick is some of the best barbecue I've ever had in my life, and I don't call myself an aficionado.
		I just like what I like.
		Bro, we've got to go there, Congressman.
		I'll bring my camera crew, I'll bring my team, and we'll do like a little, I know they've had a number of documentaries done on them, but you should take me there, and we can do like a big barbecue thing about Texas.
unidentified		Let's do it.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		And if we want to do it, we can do a taste of barbecue, we can go hop around, or we can go to a place, bring something, and compare barbecue.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The reason why, you know, everyone might say, there's so much at stake, why do you talk about this?
		Well, because of steak.
		Because meat.
		They hate meat.
		They don't want you to eat meat.
		The goal is to get you to eat the bugs.
		They are threatened by barbecue.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		This is actually important, right?
		If we don't win this election, you're not going to have the internal combustion engine.
		You're not going to have steak and barbecue.
		They want to take all of that away.
		They're not even kidding.
		They're fine with the Chinese owning our meatpacking plants.
		They want the USDA to prohibit you from being able to have a ranch sell your beef to a local market and get it to the local restaurant.
		They don't want you to have that.
		So I'm happy to go thumb our nose at the Radical Progressives by eating a large mountain of brisket seasoned properly and ribs and all the fixings in a cold beer.
		You can tell me how to do proper brisket, right?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Because I know that gets people going nuts, right?
		What is real brisket, right?
		What is the way to do proper brisket?
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, the history of it here is the heat in Texas in the late 1800s when my family came here and about a few miles down the road is where my great, great, great grandparents are buried.
		They came here and they had to season their meat, right?
		That's what they did.
		And so, you know, the salt and the pepper and the seasoning of the brisket, that's the long history of why that's been the case.
		It's why we have the best brisket around.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is something that we got to put in a little mini doc.
		Let's do that.
		In calmer times, Congressman, you can find me at the Salt Lick and I'll meet you there and you can show us real Texas barbecue and it will cause people to rage in the comment section.
		They'll say, no, we have the best barbecue.
		We have the best barbecue.
		It'll be great.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		Well, it'll be great because they'll be wrong and we'll be right down here.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I like ribs.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I gotta tell you, if given just one option to grab, good, properly smoked barbecued ribs is for me.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		Amen.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		We're in.
unidentified		We'll do it.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		We're the heart of the barbecue, but you gotta have a nice cold beer with it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		My man.
		My man.
		Shiner Bock on me.
		Thank you, Congressman.
		Godspeed.
		And everybody follow the great congressmanship, Roy.
		From Texas, 400,000 Americans.
		Can't be wrong.
		Let's get them to a million and make sure that our friends are powerful and have the strongest voice that we can possibly lend to them.
		Godspeed, Congressman.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		Thanks, Benny.
chip roy ▲ ● ▼		God bless.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		you you Boy, we are rolling this morning.
		We have an incredible clip to play for you.
		Breaking news.
		J.D. Vance just responding to the pick.
		J.D. Vance responding to the Waltz pick.
		He's on a plane right now.
		And this is filmed on a cell phone, but we have the first official response.
		And, of course, what phone would this have been filmed on?
		It could be a Patriot Mobile phone.
		It very well might.
		The reason why you have to use Patriot Mobile is you've got to make sure that you're there in the moment, okay?
		Let's say I was on J.D. Vance's plane.
		I would have been like, BAM!
		With my Patriot Mobile phone.
		Right here.
		Boom.
		I mean, I got multiples, actually.
		Like, BAM!
unidentified		BAM!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Make sure we get it!
unidentified		Connected.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Live.
		Streaming.
		On the road.
		We're going to go to the DNC convention.
		Screw these guys.
		They refused to give us press credentials.
		So we're going to go there anyway.
		Now you've just pissed off the hornet's nest.
		We have more on that.
		But we're going to bring Patriot Mobile with us on the road everywhere we go.
		They're with us at the RNC.
		Go to PatriotMobile.com today slash Benny.

		Call 972-PATRIOTS.
		Get a free month with the offer code Benny.
		Make sure that you are supporting people who support us.
		Patriot Mobile supports us on the road.
		Okay, J.D. Vance, his first reaction to the VP Kamala Harris pick, will there be a vice president's debate?
		This is something that we thought J.D. Vance would be debating Kamala Harris.
		I was really looking forward to that.
		I was really looking forward to, like, a Vivek Ranswamy Kamala Harris debate.
		Can we still do that, just for fun?
		Anyone?
		Can we ring the bell and just let the two of them debate?
		It'd be so much fun.
		Hopefully Vivek would bring you...
		Bring the coconuts!
		But here, ladies and gentlemen, is J.D. Vance.
unidentified		This is a guy who's proposed shipping more manufacturing jobs to China, who wants to make the American people more reliant on garbage energy instead of good American energy, and has proposed defunding the police just as Kamala Harris does.
		I think it's interesting, actually, they make an interesting tag team because, of course, Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, and then the few who got caught, Kamala Harris, helped bail them out of jail.
		So it is more instructive for what it says about Kamala Harris that she doesn't care about.
		Sharp, sharp, sharp.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I look forward to seeing more of J.D. Vance.
		I know he was a bit of a surprise pick for many people, and I look forward to seeing more between the two of them.
		I think that'd be an incredible debate.
		It'd be a must-watch TV.
		Tim Waltz versus J.D. Vance?
		Oh, man.
		There is someone who knows more about the Midwest being a governor and being a Democrat governor in the Midwest than pretty much anyone alive, actually.
		Somebody who also knows very much the nature of Donald Trump, has worked with President Trump, and man, it's an honor to have him on the show.
		Governor Rod Blagojevich joins the program live now.
unidentified		outro music
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Thank you for being on, Governor.
		We saw you first thing in our timeline this morning talking about Tim Waltz.
		I don't know if you personally know him or not, but open floor for you to just talk about your take on this pick for Kamala Harris.
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		I think this really sums up what today's Democratic Party has become.
		It's a party that's very different from the one that I was the governor of.
		It's a party that has a real strong voice.
		I should say a strong, active voice of anti-Semites who actually have too much of a say in the policies the Democrats have prioritized these days.
		And I think this is an illustration of it.
		No Democrat can get elected president without winning Pennsylvania.
		In fact, over the last 100 years, 13 Democrats have won the presidential election, but only one time did a Democrat win.
		Who didn't win Pennsylvania.
		That was 1948 with Harry Truman.
		Otherwise, if you're a Democratic candidate for president, you cannot win unless you win Pennsylvania.
		The only explanation for why Kamala Harris didn't pick Governor Shapiro, who has a 61% approval rating in that state, is because his name is Shapiro, because he's Jewish, and because the hardcore left-wing anti-Semites of the Democrat Party raised objections, and she's afraid of them.
		She pandered to them and she took a position, her first big decision, where she gave in to that kind of pressure.
		And I think, again, I think it's an example of what happened to the Democratic Party.
		I think they missed an opportunity because Shapiro could have made a big difference in terms of their competitiveness in the state of Pennsylvania.
		As it is, she picked this guy from Minnesota, and we'll see what happens with regard to how he runs the race.
		But to me, the story is the anti-Semites of the Democratic Party won today.
		Shapiro got dumped because he's Jewish.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
		I mean, this is coming out of the gate strong.
		And again, we saw you top of our X timeline and we're like, man, the governor's hitting it this morning.
		Do you know Tim Wald?
		Have you had any interactions with him?
		And a secondary question to that, the way that he's run Minnesota, can you give sort of a report card on that?
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		I don't know him.
		I never met him.
		I wasn't governor when he became the governor, but I know a little bit about his record.
		I know he's a very...
		Hardcore left-wing progressive on issues that really are impactful to working people.
		So she's basically gotten herself a younger version of Bernie Sanders to be her running mate.
		She's already a version of Bernie Sanders.
		Although this guy, 24 years younger than Bernie Sanders, actually looks older than Bernie Sanders.
		I don't know that this really helps her much.
		I think they think that he can compete with Senator Vance for the votes of rural America, small-town America.
		And that's an area that I know very well because Illinois, when I was the governor, was the fifth largest state in the United States.
		And demographically, it's a small United States.
		And the central part of our state is very conservative, Republican, agricultural.
		The southern part of our state is the American South.
		All across our state, outside of Chicago, are small towns, mid-sized towns, where working people are.
		And these are the towns...
		These are the towns that have been hollowed out by trade policies that the Democrats supported, that Bill Clinton supported, that Joe Biden supported, that Kamala Harris has supported, that have sent jobs to China and Mexico.
		They used to be in places like Galesburg, Illinois.
		I know that voter because that was a voter that helped me win.
		And I really believe that...
		Vance is going to be the perfect fit to be able to improve on President Trump's already strong support among that voter.
		And I think the turnout is going to be the key.
		And I think the enthusiasm for the Trump team, coupled with J.D. Vance, his message, his story, which is compelling, and the radical left-wing ticket of the Democrat Party.
		This is not the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy.
		This is not the Democratic Party of Harry Truman or even Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
		This is a party that doesn't support the police.
		They want to defund the police.
		This is the party that doesn't put a person on the ticket because he's Jewish.
		This is the party that claims it for black people, but over the last many generations in the places where Democrats control...
		Populations have a large number of black people.
		Conditions for the black community have not improved.
		They've gotten worse.
		It's a Democratic Party that, frankly, is kicking God out of the Democratic Party.
		In fact, they kicked him out of the Pledge of Allegiance at their last convention.
		So that type of policy, those policy positions, they're not going to play well in Peoria, as Richard Nixon used to say back in 68 when he was running for Middle America.
		Middle America is going to decide this election, and the Trump Vance ticket is very strong.
		And they're running against a very hardcore left-wing, communist-oriented, philosophically communist-oriented ticket of Harris and the governor from Minnesota.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, maybe you could talk about your old stomping grounds there, because as somebody who grew up in Iowa, we were often in Chicago.
		We were there for everything from school.
		Trips to sporting events.
		And we love the state of Illinois.
		My parents decided to move from Iowa to Rock Island.
		And so they were there during your governorship.
		We were traveling to Illinois during your governorship.
		Chicago was booming, man.
		And it was a wonderful and a very safe place to go.
		And things have descended under a different brand of Democrat leadership.
		And it's really become quite chaotic.
		I don't have high hopes for the Democrat convention in Chicago in two weeks.
		But I'd love to maybe get your thoughts on this new brand of let the BLM rioters burn our cities, build ladder factories so that illegals can come here.
		I mean, that's not playing well in Chicago.
		We have a clip per day, Governor, of the black residents of Chicago being like, they're replacing us.
		Like, they're shipping in people and they're taking over our...
		Our football fields, our high school gyms, they're prioritizing other children over our children.
		We feel replaced, right?
		That's happening right now in your home state.
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		Very much so.
		And please tell your parents I never raised their taxes when I was governor.
		I want you to know.
		Notwithstanding the pressure I was getting from my own party.
		But no, this is about government and governing.
		It's about choices.
		The decisions are made by the people who are elected.
		From the people.
		We're hired by them to make decisions, and we're hired to set priorities.
		And our priorities ought to reflect whose side we're on.
		The Democrats used to be, at least I believe that, and I think they were.
		The part of the little guy, the part of the working people, the party that saw unfairness and injustice, saw racism and wanted to end racism, things of that sort.
		But it's now become mere rhetoric for these Democrats today.
		Their priorities aren't for You know, poor, low-income people in the inner cities who disproportionately are people of color, disproportionately are black.
		Their priorities are, like you just said, illegal immigrants who stormed into our country.
		And again, let's keep pointing this out because it's true.
		She was, Kamala Harris, the Tsarina of the border.
		And she looked the other way when they were crashing through our country and storming into our cities.
		And then so much is upside down with today's Democrat Party.
		Chicago reflects that, too.
		Gangbangers outnumber police officers in the city of Chicago, 75 to 1. And the Democrats here who run the city, and our Governor Pritzker, a Democrat as well, are afraid to say that we need more police.
		They also handcuff the police because it's politically incorrect because you might have a bad cop who did something very bad, and all of a sudden they paint a brush across all of the police officers.
		And what they do with this kind of dangerous rhetoric is they actually make people's lives less safe.
		And the people they claim, therefore, like.
		Low-income black people in the south and west sides of the city of Chicago living in the highest crime neighborhoods in the country.
		They're the ones who are stuck having to live in those neighborhoods where gangbangers run the show because they've handcuffed the police and the Democrats have run from the police.
		And so this ticket really reflects the new Democratic Party.
		When I think of Kamala Harris.
		As the Democrat candidate for president, we might as well have just had Lori Lightfoot, the former Chicago mayor, to be the candidate, because they're pretty much the same.
		In fact, Lori Lightfoot is more conservative than Kamala Harris.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So that's remarkable that you say that.
		And we have dear friends in Chicago.
		They helped run the Trump Chicago, one of the best hotels in the world.
		And they say, man, Lori Lightfoot said, you're going to miss me when you get this Brandon Johnson guy in there.
		And holy smokes, I didn't think it could get worse.
		Chicago is a nightmare.
		Any thoughts on the DNC convention, which will be in Chicago?
		very soon.
		I hear they just got rid of their spot shot or shot spot like to try and help find people who shoot firearms.
		Seems like a bad move.
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		You know, I spoke at the Democratic Convention the last time was in Chicago in 1996, Benny.
		I was the Democratic nominee for Congress against the incumbent Republican, and they gave me a two-minute speech.
		David Axelrod wrote my speech.
		They didn't give me a good time slot.
		It was something like four o 'clock in the morning.
		There were like three people there.
		Two of them were sweeping the floors.
		I think one guy with a mop actually applauded what I had to say.
		So I've had some experience with conventions in Chicago.
		And then I was a kid growing up in 1968 when the Democrats met here.
		And all hell broke loose.
		The anti-war protesters and the police and the confrontations that took place there.
		This convention in 2024, with this Democrat Party, with the energy coming from the leftist, Marxist, socialist wing of the party, ironically funded by big money people, it's a weird coalition.
		But this convention and the antipathy the Democrats today have for the state of Israel and the likelihood of protests from The pro-Palestinian protesters who've been doing what they've been doing, coming to Chicago.
		And the fact that the police have been so mistreated, it's going to be an interesting dynamic to see how that unfolds.
		And we may see a little bit of a repeat of 1968 here in Chicago if present trends continue.
		And this early decision by Kamala Harris to pick this guy from Minnesota over the governor from Pennsylvania who would have really helped her win this state, she has to win or she cannot win.
		Gives me an indication of the decisions that she makes and whose side she's going to pick when it comes to making those decisions as a candidate and, God forbid, a president.
		She's going to go left-wing.
		She's going to listen to AOC and Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar, the woman from Minnesota.
		Not the more centrist types that used to be the Democrats who looked after the little guy who loved America, who supported the police, and who believed in God.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So, it's very interesting that you brought up David Axelrod, because the final question I have for you here, Governor, is this post that you put up about Barack Obama.
		And it went viral, right?
		It's got nearly 50,000 likes, 15,000 retweets, and 2.5 million views.
		There's a photo of you and Barack Obama, and you say that I've known Obama since 1995.
		We come out of Chicago together.
		He knows how it works.
		He's behind the campaign to dump 15 million Dem primary votes and replace Biden.
		This was his choice.
		Classic Chicago Democrat machine politics, selection over election, the bosses over the people.
		You know, we've been saying that Kamala Harris is illegitimately installed and that this is one of the most anti-democratic things that have ever happened in the history of American politics.
		And pretty much a major black eye in the party of protecting democracy.
		It's quite a...
		Quite an ironic turn.
		I wanted to give you just a chance to unpack this because there's been very much this cloak-and-dagger campaign against Biden, and you're saying that Obama ran it.
		Wow, what a backstab.
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		Well, yes.
		You know, they ought to call today's Democratic Party the undemocratic party because how they dumped Biden was right out of the backroom.
		Classic old-time Chicago backroom politics.
		In the old days, the political bosses didn't look like Nancy Pelosi or Barack Obama.
		They were some cigar-chomping guys with pinky rings.
		But they called the shots in the shadows of the backroom in the old days.
		And then he had the advent of television and now social media and all these other things.
		Today, this party would do the same thing in full view, out in the open, in broad daylight, to essentially pull their incumbent president out of the race after they hoodwinked 15 million Democratic primary voters who voted for him, knowing full well that his...
		Cognitive issues were there then, just like they are now.
		And the only reason they did it was because they looked at the polling after that, the disastrous debate he had with President Trump.
		And so for political expediency, not for doing what's right for the people, they decided to get together in the back room and do what they did and how they did it and get Biden thrown off the ticket.
		Now what's going to happen, Benny, is they have a candidate who the more you see her...
		The more you don't like her.
		The more you see her, the more you realize she's just not up to the job.
		The more you see her, the more you realize she's a mile wide and about an inch thick.
		There's no substance to her.
		And she's malleable and moldable.
		And she's, well, they're just going to hide her, is what they're going to do.
		And this is so dishonest that a democracy, when you actually hide a candidate, they did it in 2020 with Biden, they got away with it.
		You watch, they're going to do that with her as well.
		Because they're going to keep her really scripted, really tight.
		And away from any kind of interaction with everyday people.
		And I think the contrast between that style and Trump's, what many people think is sort of an undisciplined style, I think that contrast is going to be really profound.
		Because one thing you'll say about Trump's style, whether you think it's undisciplined or not, I think it's refreshing.
		Because I think it's authentic and I think it's honest.
		And I think it's why people, a lot of Democrats, working people who don't want to say it, they're afraid to say it.
		They're supporting Trump and have supported Trump.
		They appreciate the honesty of the things he says.
		They're tired of scripted, fake politicians who give two-minute speeches written by David Axelrod like I did at 4.30 in the morning in Chicago back in 1996.
		And by the way, Axelrod used to write lines for me and Obama.
		And when Obama ran for president years later, because he worked for both of us, I would recognize some of these lines and I'd say, hey, wait a minute, I said that four years ago.
		Axelrod wrote me that line four years ago.
		Obama was using it in 2008.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So this entire Kamala moment is completely manufactured by Obama, and this decision was made by Barack Obama.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Do you have any insights, since you know the entire team, do you have any insights as to how they eventually manipulated Biden into stepping down?
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		Oh yes, I do.
		You know, they basically used the stick and the carrot.
		More stick than carrot.
		And behind the scenes, using third parties, dispatching them to Biden, to his wife, probably to his son, maybe his brother.
		People close to him, top aides, they threatened him.
		I mean, they've known Biden for as long as they have.
		Obama knows him better than anybody else in politics, because in order to be his running mate, the Obama team had to vet him.
		So they've done all kinds of opposition research on Biden.
		Biden has not just a few skeletons in the closet, because he's been there for so long, since 1973.
		He's got skeletons, many skeletons in many closets.
		They know it, and they went to him, and they told him stuff.
		And they basically said, if you don't get out, we're going to...
		Drop dimes on you.
		We're going to leak this to the media that we've now been able to persuade that they think that you're no longer qualified to be president.
		Two weeks before you were, but now you're not.
		We control them, and they work for us.
		And so they pressured them.
		And they probably said, look, but if you get out, here's certain things we'll do to make your landing soft.
		And so they probably offered them some carrot as well.
		This is how it works.
		This is how they do it.
		And you know what this reminds me a little bit?
		Obama in 2024 reminds me a little bit of Lyndon Johnson in 1968 when the Democratic convention was also held in Chicago.
		Johnson orchestrated Hubert Humphrey's nomination and did it from the back room.
		And the way Obama is operating is, and Pelosi, he's not alone.
		Obama's not doing this alone.
		But he's certainly the lead figure, the central figure in this.
		The way they're doing it is reminiscent of the old school Lyndon Johnson ward boss politics that was so prominent in the 40s, the 50s, and the 60s.
		You thought it was over in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and now it's back in a more modern form.
		But either way, it's undemocratic, and the decisions are not being made by the working people of our country or the working people of the Democrat Party.
		They're being made by Obama and others from the back room.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That's incredible.
		Yes, not a single person has voted for Kamala Harris.
		Kamala Harris has received zero votes, won zero debates to be president.
		And had a campaign that failed spectacularly, didn't even make it to Iowa, came in fifth in her home state of California.
		She was selected, not elected, as you say.
		So I saw this and I thought, you know, this is a little silly.
		You're saying they actually brought in the oppo file, put it down on the desk in front of Biden, and said it'd be a real shame if NBC News got this piece of information about your family.
		You're saying they did that?
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		Yes, yes, I do.
		I say they did that.
		Several times.
		Whether they did it directly, through the use of third parties.
		And it wasn't just limited to NBC News.
		They shared it with ABC, CBS, CNN, and all the others.
		Yes, of course I believe that.
		What other reason would Biden have to step out?
		I mean, right now, what he's just done, he's made himself a historic figure to be remembered now for a guy who should have really not been president at all.
		He's admitted by his action that he's not.
		He's not qualified to be president.
		He's not capable of handling the job.
		What other reason would Biden have to get out?
		Except that he was pressured and they told him basically they were going to withdraw the support.
		Now, had Biden had the backbone of, let's say, a Donald Trump and I'm going to throw humility away or me.
		Who never gave in to the Democrat bosses who were trying to push me out when I was falsely accused by weaponized prosecutors and things that weren't crimes.
		Conversations that were started by Obama in 2008.
		They criminalized it when I talked about it.
		But he went to the White House for eight years and I fought back.
		They threw my ass in prison for eight years after two trials and fake jury instructions to criminalize legal things.
		I'm sorry to keep going back to that, but I'm...
		You know, it was a hard, long journey.
		But I saw what they did to me.
		And right away, when they realized that I wasn't going to flip on Obama, they went to him the next day and made a deal.
		And he sold me out.
		And the whole Democrat establishment came down on me for things that were so obviously not crimes.
		They should have been supporting their Democratic governor.
		Instead, they ran because I became a political problem for Obama.
		And anyway, it's a long story.
		I'm writing a book about that.
		I recognize that he did Biden because it happened to me with a lot of these Democrats and, you know, who were in power back then, in fact, all of them.
		And so, no, this is how they do it because that's what they did to me.
		They came to me with all kinds of threats and they also came to me through back channels with all kinds of offers that would have made things for me a lot better, my family a lot better if I simply played ball and did what they wanted me to do, which I wouldn't do because I broke no laws and I wasn't going to sell out the people who elected me or sell out the Constitution or the rule of law because the...
		Fake charges against me were a direct assault on the rule of law and the Constitution.
		So I stood up, fought back.
		I sent a person to the United States Senate against the objection of every Democratic U.S. senator, including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and all the others.
		And they'd warned me that if I did that, I'd be out in six weeks.
		And that's one campaign promise they actually kept.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So you're saying that the same machine...
		It's remarkable because I, of course, know this story, but I haven't put them together.
		And it's now just so clear to me.
		The same machine that got Biden out came down on you.
		And so you've seen the intricacies and the teeth of the Obama machine and how this is being run effectively to get what they want extra judiciously and against the will of the people.
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		My troubles began on election night when Obama won the election in 2008.
		It was a historic night, magical, in Chicago, Grant Park, hundreds of thousands of people there, first black president, big, big event in American history, prominent political figures who were all backstage.
		The governor of Illinois was certainly there.
		I was the first governor to endorse Obama.
		And I was approached by a union boss who was close to both Obama and me, who came up to me and he said, Barack called me last night.
		He would like Valerie Jarrett to be the senator.
		He wants to know what you want.
		Can I call you tomorrow?
		Come and see it and see if we can put something together and make a deal.
		Basically, that's what he said.
		So it was horse trading.
		It wasn't illegal.
		And so the next day, I mentioned that to my staffers.
		We begin the process of thinking, what kind of deal can we make?
		So I'm throwing out all kinds of ideas.
		They arrested me on this.
		They lied.
		And then they went to Obama the very next day.
		And when they wanted me to say Obama was trying to buy something I was willing to sell, when I told them, look, I wasn't selling anything.
		He wasn't buying it.
		And this is just politics.
		When he was told Obama that this was the dynamic, they made a deal.
		And the deal basically was, you leave us alone.
		You let us stay in here as the U.S. attorneys.
		Because new presidents always pick new U.S. attorneys.
		But these guys got to stay.
		So you stay in here.
		We'll leave you alone, but you don't lift a finger to help this guy.
		And so that's what happened.
		And, you know, they didn't convict me on their fake charges at the first trial.
		They then tried to offer me 18 months.
		If I would plead guilty to non-crimes, I wouldn't do it.
		And then they just tried me a second time and just moved the line and criminalized legal things.
		The exact same thing they did to...
		Trump in New York with fake jury instructions.
		I think, Benny, what they did was they learned against a Democrat governor at the AAA level how to do it.
		And then they took it to a major league level against Republican President Donald Trump.
		Same stuff, same people.
		Fitzgerald was the U.S. Attorney in my case.
		He's tight with Comey.
		Same ones who did this stuff with...
		With President Trump, Mueller, all of them.
		They're all part of the same thing.
		And to me, this is the biggest issue facing the American people because this goes to the heart of our freedoms.
		Our right as citizens to choose our elected officials in elections that are free and fair and not have prosecutors fake up crimes to inject themselves in the political process and change the political dynamic and taking away the decisions from the people.
		That's what's at stake.
		I think the greatest constitutional crisis in American history since the Civil War.
		And that's why...
		That's among the many reasons why it's so important for voters who love our country to put aside party label and vote for Trump because Trump didn't break a single law.
		It was also obviously fake, also politicized by weaponized prosecutors working with the Democratic National Committee.
		The DOJ and the DNC have been working together to do what happened to me to do to Trump.
		I know this because they did it to me.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Just it.
		Just it.
		Absolute bombshell.
		I mean, it's just, we look forward to your book on this, and you telling the true story about what happened when Barack Obama asked for his longtime aide, Valerie Jarrett, to allegedly be shoved into this Senate role, and Valerie Jarrett still on the payroll of Barack Obama to this very day.
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		Let me also say...
		Obama was interviewed the day after, when I was arrested.
		Six o 'clock in the morning, SWAT teams around my house.
		I was Roger Stone before Roger Stone.
		They had SWAT teams at my house, the sitting governor of Illinois, right?
		So the very next day, they go to Obama, and he gets interviewed by the FBI.
		Now, you have to tell the truth to the FBI.
		These things are called 302 interviews.
		Now, the defendant, me, on the dock, facing these allegations, has a constitutional, fundamental right to Obama's interview, his 302s.
		And they never gave it to us.
		They would never allow it.
		My lawyers kept trying, filed motions.
		We never got them.
		And to this day, those FBI 302s, Obama's interview by the FBI, is covered up.
		Just like 98% of the FBI tapes with me on the phone talking to Rahm Emanuel and Harry Reid and, you know, all kinds of leading political figures about a legal political deal.
		But all of that's been covered up.
		And the tapes would show how the prosecutors just grossly lied and abused the truth.
		But those are covered up today as well.
		So all I can tell you is our country is facing extremely dangerous circumstances today.
		Bad enough they did it to a Democrat governor from Illinois.
		But the thought that they can get away and do this to a Republican candidate for president, a former president, and the leading candidate of the opposition party in America, it's chilling.
		KGB, police state-style politics.
		And to me, immigration and inflation are major issues.
		Crime in the streets are major issues.
		But if we don't fix this, say goodbye to freedom in America because the people don't control anything.
		The Obamas from the back room control everything.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Wow, Governor.
		We talk a lot about truth and salt and light on this program and revealing how...
		The systems actually work, and I think you've done more in this small segment for our audience than a lot of interviews.
		And so we thank you for shedding light on this.
		We hope that you come back very soon, and we encourage everybody to go follow the governor here on his X page, where he is sending out bangers and going viral.
		60,000 Americans can't be wrong.
		Go follow the governor and a strong ally of President Trump.
		Somebody has some...
		Remarkable insights as to how the system works.
		We look forward to your book, sir.
rod blagojevich ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, Ben.
		I appreciate you having me on it.
		Thanks for the good work you're doing.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Please, please.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Godspeed.
unidentified		Godspeed.
unidentified		you you you you Goodness gracious, what was that?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Holy moly.
		We've met the governor.
		Blago, we'll call him affectionately.
		We've met the governor just one time.
		In passing at an event.
		And followed him on X. And he followed back.
		And then on occasion, he sends us some of the work that he's done.
		And this morning, he's like, Tim Waltz, man, this guy's bad news.
		And I said, come on the show.
		Right?
		He'd never been on the show.
		ALX, Robbie, let's make sure that he gets booked and comes on back.
		Because that was some wild insights.
		Need to process all of that.
		Good on you, man.
		Good on you for speaking truth.
		Really, quite frankly, an incredible moment.
		Alright, well, we teased it up front, and so we are going to do quite a shift in what we're talking about here, but why not, okay?
		Because it does tie in a little bit to our documentary about the Trump assassination and the horrors and the rot inside of the federal government.
		Kim Cheadle, that the governor actually just spoke about.
		So apparently the...
		Okay, so interesting how this all...
		Again, just processing that wild interview.
		The governor there spoke about how the FBI covered up for the powers that be and covered up legally for Barack Obama.
		And they made sure that nothing ever happened to Barack Obama and that he was the fall guy.
		Well, ladies and gentlemen, this also happened with Joe Biden.
		Apparently, the Secret Service director wished to cover up and destroy the multiple bags of cocaine that were found at the White House.
unidentified		What?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah, baby.
		Ousted Secret Service director Kim Cheadle and other top officials wanted the cocaine discovered at the White House to be destroyed before further testing.
		Could take place.
		RealClearPolitics reported Monday that multiple heated confrontations and disagreements occurred after the baggie of cocaine was found in the West Wing locker on July 2, 2023.
		Secret Service is pushing back on the narrative, saying that the cocaine investigation was handled properly.
		Oh, okay.
		This is false, says known liar Anthony Gugumany, who is the known liar Secret Service spokesperson, who needs to be probably criminally charged.
		For lying to the American people about the assassination and near-public execution of President Trump.
		The bag of cocaine was sent for destruction one day after the Secret Service's 11-day investigation wrapped without identifying the whodunit.
		They apparently found DNA on the bag.
		So let me ask you a question.
		How much DNA do you need to find out whose cocaine it is?
		You need just a DNA.
		That's it.
unidentified		That's how it works.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You need just like...
		One strand.
		And they found it.
		You don't need a bunch.
		You just need one.
		They found it.
		It's microscopic.
		You can match the DNA.
		Every DNA is totally and completely unique to each human individual.
		So they know that this DNA was a member of the Biden families.
		Which member?
		We don't know.
		We hear Joe Biden's kids have some problems.
		But who knows, ladies and gentlemen.
		So apparently, they were trying to destroy...
		The baggie that would lead to the Bidens.
		This dovetails perfectly into the governor and what he just told us about how they covered up for Barack Obama.
		Just absolutely and totally wild.
		Our friend Josh Hawley was on, would this be on Fox News recently?
		Yeah, this was last night.
		Josh Hawley's been doing God's work when it comes to the investigation from the Senate side.
		We went with two members of Congress.
		But from the Senate side, Josh Hawley has been doing God's work on the failures of the Secret Service.
		Play these clips back to back.
		Josh Hawley talking about what he has found in his investigation.
unidentified		What have these whistleblowers been telling your office?
josh hawley ▲ ● ▼		Well, what they've been saying, Jesse, is that this individual, the site agent, the lead agent, was known to the Trump campaign to be inexperienced, to be ineffectual, to be frankly incompetent at their job.
		Well, I'm also told by whistleblowers that on that day, she was not enforcing the normal security protocols.
		She was not checking people's IDs.
		She did not use Secret Service agents.
		Most of the agents there that day were not Secret Service agents.
		They were Homeland Security agents.
		And get this, Jesse, most of them had never worked a rally before.
		And yet this is who she chose to staff the event with, and she didn't train them or integrate them from top to bottom.
		It was a total disaster.
		Jesse, it is a miracle, a miracle, not only that Trump is alive.
		But that more good Americans were not killed.
		It's unbelievable.
unidentified		Saying that the site agent in charge of this security in Butler wasn't checking IDs?
josh hawley ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		She was just letting people in?
josh hawley ▲ ● ▼		That is what whistleblowers tell me, is that IDs were not checked to allow individuals into secure areas, Jesse.
		In other words, it was a total free-for-all.
		Whistleblowers, portray to me...
		A circumstance, a situation that was totally out of control, where people were milling around, including in what were supposed to be highly secure areas.
		Nobody knew who they were.
		By the way, it was also the lead site agent's job to make sure that the line of sight for where Trump was was clear, that agents could see all angles.
		And she didn't do that.
		In fact, I'm told that the line of sight was obstructed, which means that agents from different angles couldn't really see around Trump, couldn't see potential dangers to Trump.
		This is pretty textbook stuff, Jesse.
		And what whistleblowers say to me is none of it was done properly.
		by the book.
		And frankly, when you know all that, it's amazing more people weren't killed.
		This person needs to be fired, as does anybody who had leadership on that day.
unidentified		Wow.
unidentified		Wow.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Everything that we are finding out right now about this points to a government cover-up.
		We know this to be true because the government is lying about these things.
		What do you lie about?
		You lie about things that you are embarrassed, things that you don't want people to find out.
		We've found the government lying, and we on this program believe that they intentionally put President Trump in a kill box.
		That's what we have said in our show and in our documentary.
		We encourage you to watch it.
		The full thing is up.
		For free.
		On all of our social media.
		And as we said, it's been going viral.
		And I'll probably say this until the end of time.
		Thank you.
		Look at these graphics.
		Look at what we were able to build.
		This is our programming.
		Our.
		Us.
		Together.
		You and me.
		This is our programming.
		We were able to put together an actual bullet.
		We were able to show you the path of the bullet.
		There you go.
		A remarkable, remarkable And so we thank you once more for making this a success and we plan on doing so much more.
		You heard Caroline Levitt say that we're welcome to go interview Trump live on the stream.
		So get ready for that, man.
		Get ready for that.
		Aiden Ross dancing with Donald Trump.
		Man, we can dance with Trump.
		Come on.
		We got some plans.
		We got some big plans.
		We'll be in Chicago.
		Get ready.
		We're going to take the show to Chicago.
		They turned us down at the DNC.
		They turned us down.
		I put this up on X last night.
		They said, no, you're not allowed!
		We're out of room!
		Yeah, whatever, man.
		We're gonna go build our own bunker.
		Our own bunker at the DNC.
		And we have shenanigans planned.
		It's gonna be exciting.
		We've heard from you, and you say go, and so we shall go, ladies and gentlemen.
		It is our job to remake the media, to become the media.
		We are the media.
		We've beat them all in streaming numbers and views over the last couple months.
		We're dominating the corporate press, actually.
		And we're going to take that power and use it for good.
		We're going to use it for you.
		We say thank you, and we also encourage you to always to interact with the show.
		We do read the comments.

		I like Kami Kamala.

	I think Kambala, not as much.
	Kamila, I think is just funny.
	But Kami Kamala, I think, is probably what's going to stick.
	Okay, well, people have chosen, and demonstrably so.
	This is a landslide.
	So it is Kami Kamala.
	Expect her to be Kami Kamala on this program.
	You do matter to us.

	Angela says, Kambah, Kamaflop, Scamala.
	Okay, alright.
	We're rolling here, man.
	We're rolling.
	Alright, what's it gonna be?
	Which one's it gonna be?
	So, here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
	An important, important note.
	Let's read one more here from External Vigilance.
	Remember, democracy never lasts long.
	It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.
	There has never been a democracy that did not commit suicide, says John Adams.
	Only God's kingdom lasts forever.
	Perfect.
	Yes.
	Correct.
	Thank you, External Vigilance.
	I actually completely agree with this.
	And it's why we do the work that we do here.
	Ladies and gentlemen, this ties us in very nicely and beautifully into our verse of the day from John 16. I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
	In this world you will have trouble, but take heart.
	I have overcome the world.
	Listen to the words of Christ.
	Jesus, a name that we say proudly on this program, we'll never apologize for.
	Christ is king because we are just simple Christians who are out here to spread salt and light.
	Unlike some of the power-hungry, craven monsters who wish to lead this country, we are not ashamed of our faith tradition and what we believe.
	And put it first, right in front of our families who we will die to protect.
	This verse...
	Got to tell you, man, there are so many guarantors in the scriptures that life sucks.
	Not that it has to suck, but like that we live in a troubled place and that you're guaranteed troubles, right?
	Like you, your life is not chocolate, rivers, and gumdrops.
	This is a tough, vicious, horrible world.
	I'm not a downer.
	I'm very optimistic in heart.
	I'm very much a glass-half-full, silver-linings kind of guy.
	But this is just the nature of a fallen place.
	And so, find the purpose.
	And sometimes those struggles, and we'd say this very much on the show, and I won't be long-winded here, but I just...
	Sometimes the show's hard to do.
	Because it's not good news.
	It's very depressing news.
	It's news that weighs on you, and you're like, it's hopeless!
	It's hopeless!
	You know?
	And that's what the weight of the world feels like, you know, as the saying goes.
	And here Christ says, Take heart!
	I have overcome the world.
	I beat death itself.
	And so what more can they possibly take from you in this place?
	You know, everything they're doing to you, they did to me first.
	And much, much more, and much, much worse.
	And so, take heart.
	We already have the victory.
	And that's why we can march.
	Confidently, ladies and gentlemen, march with me.
	Head up!
